The present invention relates to prostaglandin analogs for which the essential material constituting a disclosure therefor is incorporated by reference here from U.S. Pat. No. 4,130,569. 

I claim:
 1. A cyclic ether of the formula ##STR2## wherein L is (1) a valence bond, (2) --(CH₂)_(d) -- wherein d is one to 5 inclusive, (3) --(CH₂)_(t) --CF₂ -- wherein t is 2, 3, or 4, (4) --CH₂ --CH═CH--A-- wherein A is a valence bond or --(CH₂)_(h) -- wherein h is one, 2, or 3, or (5) --CH₂ --O--CH₂ --Y-- wherein Y is a valence bond or --(CH₂)_(k) -- wherein k is one or 2; wherein Q₂ is ##STR3## wherein R₃ is hydrogen or alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive; wherein R₁₈ is hydrogen, alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive, benzyl, or phenyl, the two R₁₈ 's being the same or different;wherein R₂₁ is ##STR4## wherein R₂₅ is ##STR5## wherein C_(g) H_(2g) is alkylene of one to 9 carbon atoms, inclusive, with one to 5 carbon atoms, inclusive, in the chain between --CR₅ R₆ -- and terminal methyl, wherein R₅ and R₆ are hydrogen, alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, or fluoro, being the same or different, with the proviso that one of R₅ and R₆ is fluoro only when the other is hydrogen or fluoro; ##STR6## wherein R₅ and R₆ are as defined above with the proviso that neither R₅ nor R₆ is fluoro when Z is oxa (--O--); wherein Z represents an oxa atom (--O--) or C_(j) H_(2j) wherein C_(j) H_(2j) is a valence bond or alkylene of one to 9 carbon atoms, inclusive, substituted with zero, one, or 2 fluoro, with one to 6 carbon atoms, inclusive between --CR₅ R₆ -- and the phenyl ring; wherein T is alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, fluoro, chloro, trifluoromethyl, or --OR₇ wherein R₇ is alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, and s is zero, one, 2, or 3, with the proviso that not more than two T's are other than alkyl and when s is 2 or 3 the T's are either the same or different; or ##STR7## wherein X is cis- or trans-CH═CH--, --C.tbd.C--, or --CH₂ CH₂ --; and wherein the wavy line (˜) indicates attachment in cis or trans configuration.
 2. A compound according to claim 1 wherein X is trans-CH═CH--.
 3. A compound according to claim 2 wherein Q₂ is ##STR8## wherein R₃ is hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl.
 4. A compound according to claim 3 wherein R₂₁ is ##STR9##
 5. A compound according to claim 4 wherein L is --(CH₂)_(d) -- wherein d is one to 5 inclusive.
 6. A compound according to claim 5 wherein R₂₅ is ##STR10## .
 7. A compound according to claim 6 wherein ##STR11## is n-pentyl.
 8. A compound according to claim 5 wherein R₂₅ is ##STR12##
 9. A compound according to claim 8 wherein ##STR13##
 10. A compound according to claim 8 wherein ##STR14##
 11. A compound according to claim 4 wherein L is --(CH₂)_(t) --CF₂ -- wherein t is 2, 3, or
 4. 12. A compound according to claim 3 wherein R₂₁ is ##STR15##
